An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
From inside the corridors of power. There was no power dip. The circuit breakers tripped but no one knows why it tripped. And this is not the first time. This has happened before and the causes were not known and could not be isolated. A panel of experts assembled previously had suggested that an automatic switch-over to a secondary source similar to a UPS in layman' term but nothing done. Who has to pay and fix it has not been resolved. What is clear is that there is no issue with power supply in terms of generation and distribution to the MRT intake stations.
Singapore Powers is incensed and demanding to know who told the media that it was power dip and the qualification of the person. They are also chasing sources within the media for the answers.
This has been a raw issue for sometime and on Monday evening it was not surprising the lines are running hot as LTA, and Temasek entities SMRT Singapore Power re-ignited their previous row. Khaw must now realise that it is not within his gift to address these issues as his boss's wife is the primary stakeholder while he has to do the spade and the take the brickbats.
The infrastructure responsibilities are still unclear and is the major source of friction. It is time to consider a single merged entity or nationalisation until the system achieves stability. There has already been work underway for LTA to take on more and nationalisation is being considered. There has already been calls for it from some quarters.
